To determine how many shells are in a particular atom, you learn all about a modern Periodic Table. You also learn to count. Let's see. What are the elements in the first group? Hydrogen and Helium. What is the first shell? The s shell. Bravo. What are the elements in the group? It starts with Lithium. The first two elements have the s shell; the next two have the p shell. Now lets go to the Third level. Why don't you learn the formula?

How many shells exists in an atom and what are the names of that shells?

The number of shells varies. The row number of the element is the number of shells. They don't really have names, but they're referred to by how many levels they are away from the nucleus.


Does mg have the same number of atomic shells as na?

No, magnesium (Mg) has 3 atomic shells while sodium (Na) has 2 atomic shells. The number of atomic shells is determined by the number of electron shells in an atom.

Yes


Does each row in the periodic table correspond to one energy level in an atom?

No, each row in the periodic table corresponds to one period, which represents the number of electron shells in an atom. Energy levels are represented by the period number, while the rows also provide information about the number of electron shells in an element's atom.

What is the number of energy shells in a zinc atom?

There are four energy shells. The levels go: 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6, 4s2, 3d10. This is because there are 30 electrons.


If k and L shell of an atom are full then what would be the number of electrons in an atom?

If the K and L shells of an atom are full, the atom will have 18 electrons. The K shell can hold 2 electrons and the L shell can hold 8 electrons, totaling 10 electrons in both shells. Therefore, if both the K and L shells are full, there will be 18 electrons in the atom.
